The forcing frequency reduced with developing length of crack. The dissipation of forcing frequency in both models are different, this phenomenon appears more with increase length of crack. Tab. 11 presents frequency of models.

C ONCLUSION y using ABAQUS, elastic solids plain concrete beam has been modeled. The ABAQUS calculates the stress path during crack development, while the beam is subjected to the allowable cracking moment. The stress transfer has been demonstrated step by step, the process not so easy to understand from the experimental test. This work integrates experimental test and better integrates the explanation failure mechanism of beam and bending crack development. It has been observed that the crack develops with stress transfer, it effects on displacement, von Mises, load reaction and failure mechanism. Furthermore, crack propagation is caused by a transfer of energy from external work and/or strain energy to surface energy. The controlling stress path minimizes crack expansion. The maximum toughness has been observed in higher strength concrete. The forcing frequency reduced with developing length of crack.
